Product Owner WMS

To date, AUTODOC has been using and developing exclusively an inhouse WMS. With the growth of the business, volume and geography wise, the level of complexity of the warehouse processes grew and a strategic decision has been taken to implement a leading market WMS. In connection with supporting of the current WMS, this requires adoption of the selected market WMS in terms of operational processes and functional design.

The Product Owner WMS is expected to drive the agenda of the WMS Product as per follows:

• Defining and Prioritizing the backlog: The Product Owner works with stakeholders to decompose the defined by Product Manager roadmap, breaking it down on lower level operational process related requirements that are translated into the executable and deliverable incremental development. He studies the changes from the perspective of the AS-IS process → TO BE process.
